Brazilian Helio Castroneves of the Penske Racing team topped the combined time chart with a best lap of 1 minute, 11.9434 seconds on the 2.38-mile, 17-turn course in the pre-season IndyCar Open Test held at Barber Motorsport Park.



His Penske teammate Will Power finished in second place.

Target Chip Ganassi Racing's Scott Dixon (third overall; 1:12.2815) and Ryan Briscoe (fourth; 1:12.2954) weren't surprises, but Oriol Servia (fifth) in the No. 02 Newman/Haas Racing entry, rookie teammate James Hinchcliffe (seventh) and KV Racing Technology-Lotus second-year driver Takuma Sato (sixth) caught everyone's attention.

Listen to interviews from IZOD IndyCar Series drivers Helio Castroneves, Danica Patrick, Graham Rahal, Dario Franchitti, Scott Dixon and Will Power as they discuss the 2011 pre-season open test at Barber Motorsports Park.
